Thanks fortinian,
The second picture is originally from Kev's post "Various London Road Images" http://www.yoliverpool.com/forum/sho...ht=london+road ] and is courtesy of LRO.
Unfortunatly no artist is given, but it is dated 1865. William Herdman was prolific then, but it's not as sharp as his other subjects, maybe it's his father WG Herdman instead?

Yes, it is a pity George. Often council's sponsor an accepted method of bribery to sort out their conservation work. They'll give planning permission on a site, provided the developer restores x, y & z.

It's dangling the carrot of planning consent over completing conservation work amongst other things. The problem with this is that site can lie idle for years and years, whilst the council sits on it's thumbs.
I think they should be more proactive and lead the restoration. The duty of looking after the city's heritage should be theirs, or the governments.
